We found some more Rangers in the Wild, while we were out in the dessert. Hooked up with them then split off and did our own thing. I can't upload the video☹ says it's too large, even though the short one is only 32 secs. But the larger one is the one to see.
Anyway....pics.
I also wanted your guys opinion. My truck is making a LOT of creaking noises it didn't make before, while wheelin'. Any thoughts? Leaf springs look ok. Dust/dirt getting into crevices? Any suggestions on components I should ck would be greatly appreciated.

Seeing how many rangers are there it is a bit tough to tell wich one is yours. As for the creaking i must ask what modifications you have done? I myself installed the OME lift kit(as 90% of the forum already knows) and i know in the first few months I had the creaking but now it isnt an issue.

That one??.
Its the RC 3 1/2" lift. UCA's, new shocks diff drop.
It never creaked before. Now she's moaning when I put her thru the riggers. Others have suggested dirt and dust have crept into the crevices. I'll try to power wash underneath. But I always do when I wash it.
It's creaking ALL over.
It's been awhile since the lift.

Well with having a duff drop(must be something new lol) I would check the mounting bolts and make sure they are tight. Also if there is no spring silencer in the strut assembly then that could be where your noise if coming from.

Hope that helps.
